hiya,
I have problem with GTA San Andreas: the game loads slowly in the beginning/when going in and out houses/changing radio stations/etc... When I stop after little cruisin', plenty graphics are invisible or non-detailed. If i stay steady long enough, all of them will load eventually.
So I think the problem is that my ps2 cannot read data fast enough. my boot sequence:
- reset with SM 2.0 DVD
- open tray with slide tool
- change SM 2.0 to SM 3.0 DVD
- close tray with slide tool
- press "x", program loads
- "eject"
- change SM 3.0 to GTA3 (TOC disk)
- "eject", tray closes
- open tray with slide tool
- change GTA3 to GTA:SA (backup)
- close tray with slide tool
- press "square"
- GTA:SA starts
* the console is v5/v6
* Datawrite Red V3 DVD-R (compatibility with my toaster is 5/5)
* burned with Nero 6.2
this sequence works perfectly with Burnout3. I've burned GTA:SA 3 times. 2 times PAL version (with DVDDecrypter and Nero) and 1 NTSC with Nero. I've also tried Vice City and GT3 as TOC disks.
!!! Any help appreciated !!!
edit: typos

Exact same happens to me. I used optoriter04 media.
It's nothing to do with your swap method, all I can suggest is try better media, ie Ritek G04. I am going to make another backup on my new media tonight, the media is TDK G02. It's in the same class as Ritek G04 so it's good.
But why are you using a TOC refresh? You don't need to, Swap Magic2.0 can run it on it's own. You would have those problems without the TOC refresh so... I dnt know if Datawrite is good media, but try sumit else.

yes, Swap Magic 2.0 runs on its own. i use it only to load Swap Magic 3.0. I've understood that with 3.0 results are best when used biggest possible TOC disk. sizes listed here -> http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/44667
these i have tested:
4.37GB PAL GTA3
4.35GB USA SWAP MAGIC DVD DISK V2.0
4.34GB USA GTA: VICE CITY
3.43GB PAL GT3
GTA Vice City and GTA3 works best. Without SM 3.0 and TOC, the game hardly loads (some times does, sometimes don't)
these are the dvd-r that i've been using with my NEC burner. works perfectly with DVD movies and data. http://www.mpegit.net/modules.php?name=Reviews&rop=showcontent&id=185
Maybe the problem is that my PS2 is sooo old? :(
